The delicate balance of watching the England World Cup barnstormer of a match at 4am with the TV on mute while both celebrating & silently ‘shouting’ at the screen without waking my wife & child. 😊 #MEXvsENG #Football

Wow, however much I usually want the big teams to lose, I’m feeling so much sympathy to the French players right now. Paraguay players are doing them dirty! Very impressed at the composure of the France team. #FIFAWorldCup #PARvFRA

Hi @GoryDetail I’m very late to the party & decided to give Rusty Pup a try after having it sit on my iPhone for a while now, but my phone says it won’t play as it’s no longer available in the App Store. Is this permanent? Thanks! #unlikelylegendofrustypup

What a goal!!! Cape Verde! Never to be underestimated! All heroes regardless of the final score! #MensWorldCup #FIFAWorldCup #CapeVerde #ARGvCPV

This is so depressing to hear. I understand discs are requiring increasingly growing updates to run games, but suddenly the monopoly lies with the console maker. I love my physical discs & play both digital & physical, so this is a frustrating announcement. ☹️ #keepphysical

@scully1888 @gamesdotgg @ElizaCrichtonS Scandalous thievery. Is there anything that can be done?

[Mike Wakely @mike_wakely]

Cape Verde are a joy to watch this World Cup. Just equalised for 2-2. Quality isn’t always the best, but you never know what’s going to happen next. Brilliant entertainment & enjoying watching their games! #MensWorldCup2026 #URUvCPV

What a night for the Cape Verde fans & players. Brilliant defensive display. One of the most popular 0-0 draws I expect there’ll be this men’s World Cup! #WorldCup

HISTORY FOR CAPE VERDE! 🇨🇻

It's a first ever World Cup point and they've shut out European champions Spain 😮

@BBCSport Gutting news but glad she got the surgery in time. Wishing her well with the recovery.

Nintendo Direct June 2026 Predictions - What Do You Hope To See? https://t.co/Q3ZE5i6BPA #TalkingPoint #Features #NintendoDirect via @nintendolife
My predictions are v.similar to Jim’s with first party excitement, some of those 3rd party multiplatform titles & Twilight Princess.

@Londragon_UK Bring ‘Mario Karted’ 😂. Tough luck there!

[Mike Wakely @mike_wakely]

Can anyone tell me the difference between these & what types of leads they are? Presumably the left is 11-pin SCART I had for an older games console? Thanks! #SCART #cables #question #retrogaming

Congratulations to the Arsenal Men’s team. 👏🏻

[Mike Wakely @mike_wakely]

@ILoveSnooker_ Brilliant! I know it’s only a game, but he put up a real good fight! 😁

[Mike Wakely @mike_wakely]

@Iyo_SkyWWE @151012EVIL Congratulations! ❤️

[Mike Wakely @mike_wakely]

@YachtClubGames On the face of it those are some subtle but very useful QoL improvements 👏🏻 Time well spent it looks like. Looking forward to playing this.

[Mike Wakely @mike_wakely]

@Londragon_UK How long (roughly) did this take to complete? I’m currently playing through Great Ace Attorney 1 & planned on #2 after, but while I’m enjoying it, it takes a while!

[Mike Wakely @mike_wakely]

Much rather go into the final day of the season with the advantage, but hey ho, let’s see if results go our way to avoid relegation! 🔴⚪️ #ExeterCity #EXEvBRA #LeagueOne #Football

@PixelCNinja This was great! I remember Shredder being tough, flitting from side to side. Was this around the time Konami released another different TMNT handheld game too, more platforming in gameplay with a zoomed out view?

WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED? 🤯

Sabastian Sawe has just become the first person in history to run a sub two-hour marathon in race conditions.

Yomif Kejelcha was also under two hours for second!
